Chapter 350: Arrival at the East Blue
Soon, the residents all hurried to hide, and the streets were more than half empty.
However, some people still lingered, watching.
Buzz!
When he was still ten meters above the ground, the elemental bird dispersed, and Jiang Qize landed lightly. His silver hair flowed freely, and his white coat fluttered in the wind.
"So handsome."
"With a face like that, he can't be a pirate, right?"
"Probably not."
People peeked out from their houses, whispering as they looked at Jiang Qize.
Some girls and women stared at him with shining eyes, wondering how someone could be so good-looking.
Jiang Qize could naturally sense their thoughts.
His Observation Haki now covered two-thirds of the entire island. He could hear every voice in the town—their inner thoughts.
He walked over to a small stall where an old man had yet to leave.
"Sir, may I ask where this place is?"
The old man wore simple clothes, had curly brown hair, stood only about 1.5 meters tall, and his face was full of wrinkles from the passage of time.
"This is Dawn Island, in the Goa Kingdom," the old man replied.
"Thank you, sir." Jiang Qize smiled.
He hadn't expected to be so lucky—he had arrived directly in the Goa Kingdom of the East Blue. That meant Windmill Village wasn't far away.
"Young man, want to buy something to eat?" the old man asked.
Jiang Qize glanced at the stall, which had some wild fruits on display.
He smiled, then flipped his hand, producing a ten-thousand Beli bill and handing it over.
The money he stored in the system could be withdrawn anytime, so he never needed to carry cash.
Then he left.
The old man stared blankly at the bill for a moment before breaking into a wide smile and putting it away.
Walking along the street, Jiang Qize observed the simple townsfolk. Though they looked at him with curiosity, there was no malice in their eyes.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Jiang Qize stopped and looked up at the sky.
"Interesting… I didn't expect to run into another Cloud-Cloud Fruit user here—and judging by it, they're not very old."
A smile spread across his lips.
A cloud drifted down from the sky, floating toward the back of the mountain.
Jiang Qize moved, transforming into a bolt of lightning and vanishing from where he stood.
"Wow… how did he just disappear?"
"Looked like he turned into lightning!"
"That's impossible—how can a person turn into lightning?"
"Hah, there are treasures of the sea out there—super valuable stuff."
The townspeople exclaimed in shock, breaking into discussion.
…
Behind The Town stood a luxurious estate.
Dimi landed outside the estate, dispersing the cloud beneath him. His face was filled with excitement as he looked at the familiar house, his eyes reddening.
"Mom, Dad… I'm back."
Dimi said, his voice slightly choked.
"Golden Lion… what is he to you?"
Suddenly, a voice came from beside him, startling him.
He quickly turned around and saw a silver-haired, handsome young man standing behind him, looking curiously at the two swords at his waist.
Dimi's heart jolted.
His Observation Haki had actually failed—someone had approached him from behind without him noticing.
In an instant, his body tensed. His hands moved to rest on Kogarashi and Oto as he stared at Jiang Qize with vigilance.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that this silver-haired young man looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
